I saw a "demonstration" at The Art of Shaving" store- ok- so I'm game and here I am- found this group through YouTube. I did NOT yet buy a razor from The Art of Shaving- too expensive, and I need to learn some skills first...

ok- so I find this barber near my home- advertises that he's a Master Barber and can show me how to shave. Gave me a quick lesson. He told me to buy a straight razor- the disposable kind- the one you can change blades. Showed me how to shave on a Kiwi first- told me to practice on the Kiwi at home, then on a balloon, and then on my face. (I ordered a cheap disposable staright razor off ebay- should be here any day) Says when I get good, I should then buy a more expensive razor from the art of shaving (or elsewhere). The barber said he would show me how to hone it, strop it, etc...

How does this advice sound?
